we currently have a budget of 3k, and we've (theoretically) sold our current car for 1k, so that's 4k towards a new (to us) car. currently looking at renault scenics on a 51 plate, under 80k mileage, all leather interior, all electrics, twin sunroof, alloys etc, but i hate the look of it, how do i get over that when it's a bargain for all the extras it comes with?!! we've even looked at it in black but i'm still not convinced.. the RX4 however.. *drools* ticks all the boxes except the fuel economy will be shite as it's a permanent 4x4 - no point us owning 2 !!! the criteria for this car is that it needs to be bigger than our current rover 220, ie have 3 proper seats in the back, 3 proper seatbelts, and have a fair size boot and be easy for the dogs to jump up into (brackens now 11), diesel, economic to run and replace parts on. the mazda premacy's are lush but they're coming up too expensive, but man all those extra gadgets!!!
any suggestions of makes/models to search for on autotrader? we got bored after a couple of hours of searching last night and ended up drooling over MG's and ferraris.. hehe
